🔍 Description:
The Tuxedo Urchin is a stylish and functional addition to reef aquariums, known for its deep blue to purple body, striped test, and habit of camouflaging itself with bits of rubble or shell. It’s an efficient algae grazer that scours live rock and glass, helping to reduce nuisance algae without disturbing corals or inverts.

Its name comes from the “tuxedo” appearance formed by alternating dark and light bands. While reef safe, it may occasionally scrape off small patches of coralline algae as it feeds, and it requires stable parameters and sufficient algaeor supplemental feeding to thrive.
